If there are larger repairs or carpet replacements then I can usually get everything done in a week and get it rented out.Your question appears to be on getting a property from ourchase to rented out.

Before BP I assumed other areas and states would be doing this too, especially rehabbers with some experience and credit, but it doesnt appear to be the case.

For this, I have to compare my condition or projected condition to competing rentals, how long an improvement will last, (Granite counter-tops versus an upgraded toilet paper holder) the trends in the market place, such as what tenants appear to be trending toward liking, how popular a particular item is, and wether I might get only the same rent as I would have, but possibly just get a better tenant.Those are all bottom-line, figuring out the net dollars concerns.2) How much time and aggravation it saves me:Here, I go beyond just how many net dollars in extra rent I'll collect, versus the cost of improving, and I consider how much extra time it takes me to wait another week to rent it, or possibly how much time I waste dealing with a "b" quality tenant, when for an extra $1,000 worth of upgrades, I might have attracted an "a."

It would appear from the form and substance of your transaction that your primary intent was to rehab and resell.

@Adam Johnson, It appears you have had a bad situation and are basically venting on here.

@Ann Bellamy - Sometimes it takes a few seconds for the user's name to appear.

Anything to make harder or appear harder to steal will undoubtedly be helpful.

Nice deal, looks like a pretty simple flip with very healthy margins.Especially impressive because it appears to be an MLS find?

Also, read the CA landlord tenant law handbook on the Dept of Consumer Affairs site to make sure you follow all the laws.I just looked on Dennis Block's site, he does not appear to have that form.
